Anthony Davis almost certainly will not be able to play for Team USA in the London Olympics after severely spraining his ankle while working out for the New Orleans Hornets, Yahoo! Sports Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

Davis is the latest in a long list of Team USA candidates to be scratched from consideration for this summer’s squad because of injury. Dwight Howard, Derrick Rose, Chauncey Billups and LaMarcus Aldridge all sustained injuries during the NBA season that will keep them off the U.S. team. Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, although they fought through health issues to help the Miami Heat win the NBA title this season, withdrew their candidacies last week.

According to Sporting News' Sean Deveney, the Hornets released a statement regarding the injury: "An evaluation of his availability to practice with Team USA will be made later in the week."

The Davis injury thins out Team USA’s pool of post players even more. With Howard, Aldridge and Bosh already out, Davis makes four big men not able to make the trip to London. While the Knicks’ Tyson Chandler is the only true center available, there are two power forwards—Blake Griffin and Kevin Love—among the pool of candidates. But Carmelo Anthony, typically thought of as a small forward, will probably be asked by coach Mike Krzyzewski to play a lot at the four in London.
